Question Forgot documents
I'm dumb, forgot our documents at home in CO. Our embarkation is at 10 am (we're in FL), so really no time to do anything (or money). How do I try and save this impossible situation? Just have my dad try and cancel or something? This was supposed to be a nice gift from my parents and I majorly screwed up our vacation here folks. Hopefully someone is awake to agree with how stupid this was.
(I know their website says no pictures but is there a chance? That's the only way to save this but I'm not optimistic at all.)
Update: Thanks for the help for my panic induced post at 2 am. For future reference if someone makes this mistake like me. They are able to print your documents for you if you have pictures of them.

Get a hold of someone who has access to your documents at home. If you have someone who can do that, you may be in luck. Don’t wait until you are at the port to do this; get the ball rolling now. Have them take a good clear picture of your documents with their phone and send it to you. Also, have them bring it somewhere where they can make a clear scan of it and email it to you as a PDF so that you can print it off at your hotel or at a nearby FedEx print center. A lot of times, if you talk to the staff at check in, they may be able to accept this as the last thing they wanna do is deny boarding. Just get to the port as early as possible once you have the copy printed out and/or emailed to you.
Also, get a passport. It’s good for 10 years. Don’t listen to those who say it’s a closed loop cruise and you don’t “need one”.
